The Los Angeles Lakers have a major update regarding the trade market of LeBron James. Although the mere idea of trading one of the greatest to ever pick up a basketball is insane, one team has reportedly backed out of pursuing the King.

Additionally, a key insider has given an update on Bradley Beal's interest in signing with the Lakers. The three-time All-Star has quite a few contenders interested in him once his buyout potentially becomes official later this week.

Finally, former Lakers champion Anthony Davis underwent a major procedure, per ESPN's Shams Charania. The superstar center is expected to be healthy for training camp and ready to go when the regular season begins.
